Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher says the prospect of competitive Premier League fixtures being played abroad would cause as much uproar among supporters as the failed European Super League proposal of 2021.

It has been reported that a La Liga game between Villarreal and Barcelona will be played outside of Spain this season, which could set a dangerous precedent for the rest of Europe.

Barcelona supposedly would take home €5M from the match, while Villarreal would earn €6M to make up for the loss of a home game.

In the past, similar conversations have been held about Premier League games being moved abroad.

The Premier League already holds its Summer Series in the States, but those games are friendlies.

Carragher has commented on the idea of Premier League games being played outside of England.

"It will come again, but supporters have got to do the same as they did — demonstrate outside stadiums, thousands of people, and don’t accept it.

"Even for fairness — how could one game be played abroad.

In addition to the Premier League at various points being considered for such a move, there have been whispers that UEFA could take Champions League games on tour.
